Can we get some plain old security at Metro stops? (updated)

The Chronicle and KTRK-13 each have a short story about a woman who was raped at a Metro bus stop Sunday night. KRIV-26's story last night included a look at the empty security guard booth and said there are no security cameras at that location.

UPDATE: KHOU-11's story includes this:

Metro says you can legally carry a gun on a bus if you have a concealed weapons permit for it.

So now Metro bus riders must fend for themselves. It's like the old Wild West!
